<<They're already have to have the Federal tax numbers available in addition to their GAAP reporting>>If I buy and sell at end of quarter dates coincident with filings, that would be true, but my holding periods seldom coincide with this, so how do I get data that coincides with my specific holding period if the co's don't provide it? There could be an intra-quarter event like a charge or merger that dramatically changes the situation. Remember the old dividend exclusion - 1st $200 or something like that were excluded I suspect something structured like that, but at a higher amount [2-20k?] is going to drop out at the end of this process. Simple and helpful to the vast majority of voters without providing a big, expensive windfall to the top 2%.
